Joseph Doherty 8fae2cb790 Remove tools/opcuacli-dotnet and point all docs to Client.CLI
The standalone CLI tool is superseded by src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI
which uses the shared IOpcUaClientService abstraction. Renames CliTool.md to
Client.CLI.md and updates README, CLAUDE.md, Security, and Redundancy docs.

# LmxOpcUa Server
OPC UA server on .NET Framework 4.8 (x86) that exposes AVEVA System Platform (Wonderware) Galaxy tags via the MXAccess toolkit. Mirrors the Galaxy object hierarchy as an OPC UA address space, translating between contained-name browse paths and tag-name runtime references.
## Architecture
```
OPC UA Clients

+----------------+ +-------------------+
```
**Galaxy Repository** queries the ZB database for the deployed object hierarchy and attribute definitions, building the OPC UA address space at startup and incrementally syncing on deploy changes.
**MXAccess Client** connects to the Galaxy runtime via COM interop on a dedicated STA thread with a Win32 message pump. Handles subscriptions, read/write, reconnection, and probe-based health monitoring.
**OPC UA Server** exposes the hierarchy as browse nodes (folders for areas, objects for containers) with variable nodes for each attribute. Clients browse using contained names but reads/writes translate to `tag_name.AttributeName` for MXAccess.
**Historian Runtime** provides historical data access via SQL queries against the Wonderware Historian `Runtime` database, serving OPC UA `HistoryRead` requests for raw and aggregate data.
## Contained Name vs Tag Name
| Browse Path (contained names) | Runtime Reference (tag name) |
|-------------------------------|------------------------------|
| `TestMachine_001/DelmiaReceiver/DownloadPath` | `DelmiaReceiver_001.DownloadPath` |
| `TestMachine_001/MESReceiver/MoveInBatchID` | `MESReceiver_001.MoveInBatchID` |
## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- .NET Framework 4.8 SDK
- AVEVA System Platform with ArchestrA Framework installed
- Galaxy repository database (SQL Server, Windows Auth)
- MXAccess COM registered (`LMXProxy.LMXProxyServer`)
- Wonderware Historian (optional, for historical data access)
### Build and run
```bash
dotnet restore ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.slnx
dotnet build ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.slnx
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host
```
The server starts on `opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa` with the `None` security profile by default. Configure `Security.Profiles` in `appsettings.json` to enable `Basic256Sha256-Sign` or `Basic256Sha256-SignAndEncrypt` for transport security. See [Security Guide](docs/security.md).
### Install as Windows service
```bash
cd src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host/bin/Debug/net48
ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe install
ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe start
```
### Test with CLI tool
```bash
# Connect
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- connect -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa
# Browse Galaxy hierarchy
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- browse -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa -n "ns=1;s=ZB" -r -d 5
# Read a tag
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- read -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa -n "ns=1;s=TestMachine_001.MachineID"
# Write a tag
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- write -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa -n "ns=1;s=TestChildObject.TestString" -v "Hello"
# Subscribe to changes
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- subscribe -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa -n "ns=1;s=TestChildObject.TestInt" -i 500
# Read historical data
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- historyread -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa -n "ns=1;s=TestMachine_001.TestHistoryValue" --start "2026-03-25" --end "2026-03-30"
# Subscribe to alarm events
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- alarms -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa -n "ns=1;s=TestMachine_001" --refresh
```
### Run tests
```bash
dotnet test ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.slnx
```
